19 miles...

...was the running goal for this week...and I reached it.
5 miles on Tuesday, 3 on Wednesday, 6.5 on Saturday and 4.5 today.

Compared to the previous runs here in Carlsbad, the 4.5 miles today were rather fast. I managed a 8:35 pace. It is really important to keep the heart rate low though! I can sustain a HR above 170 for a bit, but it's hard to recover from that.

Other than that the week was pretty eventless, still haven't made it to the Guadalupe Mountains :-/

Hopefully I'll get some climbing in on the next weekends, back in the Bay Area!
Running-wise the next week will be a little bit of a 'recovery-week' with only three runs of 5 miles each. One will be here in New Mexico, the other two on Friday and Sunday in Mountain View. Can't wait for those flat trails!
